Tipton closer to £8.2m centre

The local authority have yet to give planning approval, but the build is expected to start in 2008 on a site near St Mark's Road. The centre will contain three GP surgeries and a wide range of primary care services. The build will be the largest undertaken to date by the Sandwell LIFT company. Richard Nugent, chair of Sandwell PCT, said: “This is great news for local patients. This new facility is set to provide better access to a range of community health services."
